Four new mothers...one exclusive playgroup...two murders. New mom Tash is intrigued when a young nanny is found dead under mysterious circumstances. She has been searching for a story to launch her career as a freelance journalist. But she has also been searching for something else--new friends to help her navigate motherhood. She sees them at her sons new playgroup: the other mothers. A group of sleek, sophisticated women who live in a neighborhood of tree-lined avenues and stunning houses. The sort of mothers Tash would like to be. When the mothers welcome her into their circle, she discovers the kind of life she has always dreamt of--their elegant London townhouses a far cry from her cramped basement flat and endless bills. She is quickly swept up into their wealthy world via coffees, cocktails, and playdates. But when another young woman is found dead, its clear theres much more to the tight-knit community than meets the eye. The more Tash investigates, the more shes led uncomfortably close to the other mothers. Are these women really her friends? Or is there another, more dangerous reason why she has been so quickly accepted into their exclusive world? Who, exactly, is investigating who?

Review "Fans of Ashley Audrain and Chandler Baker will enjoy the similar themes of motherhood, the unspoken parts of womens relationships, desire, envy, and heart-pounding suspense.

Faulkner is a pro at ever-so-gradually ratcheting up the tension bit by tiny, spine-tingling bit. And, as the narrative deftly swings between timeframes . . . we get a vertiginous view of just how tightly a group of peoples lives can be inexorably twisted together. Faulkner pulls out all the psychological-thriller stops--and then some." --Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)"A super-smart thriller...
